My Last Remote Alaska Hunt
Great Hunt. Funny thing is that as you relive the hunt, the weather kinda disappears in ones memories. At least for me it does.- shoots-straight

Competition grows to auction off coveted hunting tags
I'm really wanting to believe in this statement. BUT the more money we make and invest in our Wildlife seems to be doing very little to increase opportunity for the average Montana Resident hunter. I think all the species we action off with the title "Governors tag" are less today than at it's...- shoots-straight

Montana Elk Management Survey Results
Great conversations from some very knowledgeable people. So I'll add my perceptions (real or otherwise). Yes, in Western Montana (my main stomping grounds) Elk were fewer back in the 70's and 80's. The lands we hunted were mainly public as there were very few Elk on private other than some...- shoots-straight

Their trying to give more opportunity while attempting to keep the same number of full racked 4 x 4 and bigger bucks on the ground. IMO the mule deer populations are not even close to reaching saturation. The powers that be want mule deer bucks to stay away from residential houses and...- shoots-straight

Podcast on Elk Biology
So members of our local Hook and bullet org. were in favor of this as long as the numbers weren't to high. We also wished to see the kill monitored to see the age class of those "inferior" deer. 15 was/is a safe number for right now as most of those deer killed have actually been of the old age...- shoots-straight

Podcast on Elk Biology
yea, not so fast. The reason I got through my discussions with the bio's and those that pushed this, was opportunity. There were a lot of people seeing older age class 3 point bucks doing the breeding, and the hunters where looking for 4 points or better even if the buck was smaller/younger...- shoots-straight

Podcast on Elk Biology
This surprised me as I've read a lot of studies that are "Contra" to this study on one estrus cycle. I didn't listen to the pod cast but thought I'd throw this out there. I believe these elk were from the National Bison range in Montana. Wild ones then put in pens for study...- shoots-straight

Draft Elk Management Plan is out
I do hear this all the time, Lets be fair here. If all the land was private then I'd concede your statement as correct. It's not, so a third of OUR wildlife are feed by public lands, and YOUR private livestock are fed a portion of the time on MY public lands too. I'd venture to say that more...- shoots-straight

Ryan Busse is a coward
So to be clear, I was refering to this statement: Specifically, I personally see no reason to brandish an assault rifle during a parade, demonstration, or other large public event. This may rankle feathers of black rifle owners and hunters who use them, but I would like to see those type of...- shoots-straight

Ryan Busse is a coward
So, I'll chime in just to flap my lips for a second: I doubt Ryan Busse give 2 shits what Hoss thinks. I support Hosses rights to come forward and express his thoughts in a respectable manner. Calling a person out OK, Name calling, not OK. Debate on issues is healthy and something that makes...- shoots-straight
